"Always look forward to the workshops training sessions from Ms. Chia as these sessions are always fruitful and packed with knowledge/tips/strategies that can only be provided by experienced trainers as Ms. Chia who had practical hands-on training experices and the vast academic outlooks to support students adequately with not simply coping with exams but also develop musical experiences and widen personal music repertoire/perpectives outside the scope for musical exams. "
"I took the Handel's Hallelujah Score Reading Workshop in order to brush up my dusty musical knowledge. Dorothy introduced the background of the score, taught us what notations to look out for and their meanings, the setting and mood of the music. I can imagine the music being played out in different settings. Now I look forward to listening to Handel's Messiah again. Thanks Dorothy!"
